I've been lucky enough to inherit an Evo 2 RS. 

 

It has been sitting for some time and will need major work. Since I am in the US, parts for the EVO 123 are hard to come by. 

 

I'm trying to see how much I can swap over from the Evo 8,9 since parts for these are readily available.

 

Is anybody familiar with the differences?

 

Thanks!

Not many of the parts will be useful to you without having to do major changes to the early Evo.

Racefab in New Zealand do a subframe kit that will let you install the later model evo engine and gearbox.  There are how-to instructions on how to swap in the later model evo rear trailing arms too.

 

It's do-able, but it'd be a real pity to tear up a genuine E2 RS.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to do a cost comparison to see if a rebuild or total swap makes sense. 

 

I'm hoping a lot of the parts it share's with the 2G DSM will make a big difference.
